Division of Vertebrate Paleontology

The Division of Vertebrate Paleontology houses one
of the most important vertebrate fossil collections in North America, totaling
over 70,000 cataloged specimens. Staff and students of the Division undertake
research in vertebrate systematics, evolution, and paleobiology. The Division
supports field collecting programs in the Triassic of Arizona and Utah and
across the K/T boundary in Montana and North Dakota.
